Fans of Dead Rising and/or Lost Planet will be pleased to hear that Capcom will be returning to both and producing new games for next-gen platforms.{ad}

The news comes from an interview in Japanese magazine Famitsu held with Keiji Inafune, head of research and development at Capcom. He also mentioned that both games will likely be multi-platform and not Xbox 360 exclusives, saying:

We’re finally putting out new Dead Rising and Lost Planet games! As a main principle we’re thinking about multi-platform, and expanding upon both slightly from the Xbox 360 version.

I enjoyed both titles on the 360 and am interested to see what they do with the follow-up games. A lot has surely been learnt about the 360 and PS3 hardware since their development so we can assume better visuals and more expansive environments at the very least.

Multi-platform seems to be a major aspect of all games Capcom are producing now. It makes sense because it gives them the largest potential gamer base and will increase sales. Both games will go through the inevitable “which is better?” reviews, but I think Capcom have proved with Street Fighter IV that they can get a game looking great on both systems.
